    Google allows you to add +something in an email, and it will ignore it. So for example, if I had jonsmith@gmail.com, I could use a jonsmith+1@gmail.com address and it would deliver fine to jonsmith@gmail.com.

    This is good for when you are expecting spam or want to filter something. You can filter or delete any +1 mails.

    In Amember I'm trying to use this to set up multiple accounts for my own use. (Amember is also a user database for me). But when I try to use it, I get this message:


    * Please enter valid Email

    I'd like this fixed, please. It is a valid email.

    Thanks.

    Hi miso,

    I have this issue too.
    I found the function in the file you mentioned, but I don't know how to understand the RegEx - do you know how to allow the '+' character in the match phrase?

    Many thanks.
